Higashifushimi Kunihide

Higashifushimi Kunihide, Japanese monk and educator (b. 1910)
Count Higashifushimi Kunihide (東伏見 邦英, 16 May 1910 – 1 January 2014) was the titular head of the Higashifushimi-no-miya, an extinct branch of the Imperial House of Japan, and a Buddhist monk. He was the youngest brother of Empress Kōjun and was the maternal uncle of The Heisei Emperor. If he had kept his imperial status, at the time of his death he would have been the oldest-ever member of the Japanese imperial family. His Dharma name was Jigō (慈洽).
